Halloween Trick-or-Treating Hours

Elk Grove Village has set Halloween trick-or-treat hours from 1 p.m. until 8 p.m. on October 31. Residents are encouraged to turn on their front porch light if they want to pass out candy on Halloween.

To have a safe and fun Halloween, the Elk Grove Village Police Department offers these important safety tips for trick-or-treating:

Children are reminded to bring their Halloween candy home and have their parents properly inspect the candy before eating it.

A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children.

Older children should walk together with a large group of friends and stay in their immediate neighborhoods.

Children should always walk on the sidewalk and should avoid trick-or-treating near busy streets.

Motorists are reminded to drive carefully in residential neighborhoods and watch out for children crossing the street.

Children should carry glow sticks or flashlights when trick-or-treating during the evening hours and only go to homes where the porch light is on.

Children should never enter a residence or a vehicle to accept Halloween candy.

The Elk Grove Village Police Department will be conducting extra patrols in residential neighborhoods on Halloween. You should immediately dial 9-1-1 if you observe any suspicious activity during trick-or-treating.
